THE HILL RESORT OF MALAYSIA - THE GENTING HIGHLANDS

What better way to spend the couple of days from Hari Raya holidays than visiting places you've never been. For me, getting here is the very highlight of our KL trip just recently mainly because of the stunning infrastructures on top of the mountains. Also known as Resorts World Genting, it is a hill resort elevated at 5710 ft and is accessible by car from KL for an hour or by cable car called Genting Skyway from Genting Bus Terminal.

BATU CAVES: TEMPLE OF HINDU DEITIES

Leaving KL without visiting Batu Caves is like a void in your heart that you are longing to fill in with pleasure and contentment. (melodramatic huh?!) What I meant was you are far from satisfying your touring if you haven't been in this monumental place. Me in particular have been to that road since the beginning of time from working in Singapore as I visited KL several times but haven't got the chance to meet it in the flesh, that is why, I needed not to miss out this limestone caves in my fourth time. 

HOW TO GET THERE. I recommend BY TRAIN. KTM Komuter train takes you to the caves on the Batu Caves classified as Port Klang line. Fare is around RM2.00 from KL Sentral to Batu Caves. The travel time from KL Sentral to Batu Caves takes about 30 minutes. (cheapest way). BY TAXI. Normal rates from city centre will cost around RM20.00 - 25.00 but this will always depend on your gullibility or street smarts. (always ask from your hotel or use taxi fare calculator online for approximate value).  Most importantly, always ask if it's metered taxi before jumping in. BY BUS. There are two bus routes you can choose from, U6 and U10.
